WINDOW.

Application filed November 28, 1925.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in windows, and particularly to window sashes and screens.

One object of the invention is to provide a window, sash which can be moved toward and away from the window frame, whereby to permit passage of air therearound, and into the building.

Another .object is to provide a window sash of this character wherein proper ventilation is obtained, without using screen cloth across the window opening, and wherein the proper amount of light may enter through the window.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construction, easy to operate, and which jcan be manufactured and installed at a con1paratively low cost.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window frame, showing the invention applied thereto, and in open position.

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal central sectional view through the window showing one of the supports in elevation.

Figure 8 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a window frame, each of the four sides of which consists of the spaced members 10, providing the channels extending completely around the frame. The inner edge face ofeach of the outer facing strips 11, of the window frame, is beveled as shown at 12. A frame 18, having its periphery beveled, as at 14, is disposed in covering relation to the outer portion of the window frame opening, and such beveled face is covered with felt 15, or the like packing material, for contact with the beveled faces 12, whereby to provide a watertight, and air tight joint, when the sash is in closed position. Connected to each of the four sides of the frame 13, and extending into the one of the channels between the members 10, is a comparatively narrow frame 16, which is covered with wire screen cloth 17. On the inner vertical longer edge face of each screen frame 16 is secured felt, rubber, or the like packing material 18, one

edge of which projects beyond a side of the frame for wiping contact with the outer member 10 of the window frame, whereby to provide an airtight and watertight joint, when the window is in either open or closed position. The width of each screen frame 13 is approximately four or five inches, so that the window sash is spaced approxi mately that distance away from the window frame, when in open position, and whereby to permit a proper amount of air to enter the building, for ventilation.

v iiecured to the inner face of each ofthe inner members 10, and extending vertically thereof, is a rod 19, such rod being held in spaced relation to the member 10 by the brackets 20. Similar rods 21 are secured to the inner vertical faces of the side stiles of the window frame 10, by the brackets 22. Each of the upper brackets 21 and 22 has pivotally connected thereto one end of a link 23, the other end of which is pivotally connected with a collar 24, slidably carried by one of the other rods. The link of the window frame rod is connected with the collar which slides on the sash carried rod, while the link of the outer or sash bracket, is connected with the collar which slides on the window frame rod. Where these links cross a pivot 25 is disposed therethrough, whereby to provide for uniform pivotal movement of the links, and the simultaneous vertical slidable movement of the collars on the rods.

The rods, links, and brackets, serve as a partial supporting means for the sash, and permit the sash to be moved inwardly and outwardly without effort on the part of the operator.

Movably carried by each of the rods 21 is a collar 25, formed with a shank 26, on which is slidably disposed the shank 27 of the hook 28. A coil spring '29 is engaged around the shanks and is connected with the same for normally holding the members in retracted position. The said hook 28 is arranged to be engaged with the outer rod 19, whereby to hold the sash tightly in closed position. These hooks can be easily and quickly disengaged from the rods 19 when it is desired to push the sash outwardly into open position.

The sash frame is provided with a glass pane 30, admitting the proper amount of light to the room, while at the same time excluding dust, rain, and the like.

What is claimed is:

A window and sash comprising a frame having outwardly opening channels, a sash movable toward and away from the frame, screen frames on the sash extending into said channels, and collapsible brackets between the sash and frame for supporting the sash with the screen frames out of contact with the walls of the channels and manipulatable to move the frames into and out of 1 the channels and the sash toward and away from the window frame.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.

CHARLES W. MILLER.
